Water Resources Data
Texas Water Year 1998
Volume 2. San Jacinto River Basin, Brazos River Basin,
San Bernard River Basin, and Intervening Coastal Basins
Water Data Report TX-98-2
By S.C. Gandara, W.J. Gibbons, F.L. Andrews, and D.L.

Abstract: Water-resources data for the 1998 water year for Texas
are presented in four volumes, and consist of records
of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and
canals; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and
reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water
wells. Volume 2 contains records for water discharge at
74 gaging stations; stage only at 9 gaging stations; stage
and contents at 21 lakes and reservoirs; water quality
at 32 gaging stations; and data for 73 partial-record
stations comprised of 43 flood-hydrograph, 9 low-flow,
and 16 crest-stage, and 5 miscellaneous stations. Also
included are lists of discontinued surface-water discharge
or stage-only stations and discontinued surface-water-quality
stations. Additional water data were collected at various
sites, not part of the systematic data-collection program,
and are published as miscellaneous measurements. These
data represent that part of the National Water Data System
operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating
Federal, State, and local agencies in Texas. Records for
a few pertinent stations in the bordering States also
are included.
